6 side-by-side comparisons of then and now Encantadia

Who would forget Encantadia? The grandest fanstay-filled TV series in 2005 that caught our playful imagination as a kid, giving as a glimpse of how fairies would look like and letting us enter their world of magic.

Below are some of the differences of Encantadia before and now. See if you could still recall.

Aside from the discrepancy in appearance, the first Imaw that was introduced in the original fantasy series was a cable puppet, whereas now, the character was made into an animatronic puppet head and it is the very first in Philippine TV.

Imaw head the kingdom of Adamya, the keeper of "Brilyante ng Tubig" before it was taken away from him, and the adviser of the Queen of Lireo.

2. A new character, Adhara spice up the plot of the new Encantadia.

Only the much hated Hathors and and Etherians played the antagonisitc roles in the first Encantadia.

In the latest version, Sunshine Dizon, who also happened to play a major part in the former version, portrayed the character of diwata Adhara. The greedy encantada plans to take all the gems of fire, water, earth and air.
